“I was hoping for the stage to being suitable for baroudeurs. But Bora dictated the day. I was close to making their group on top of the col de Béal. My legs weren’t super today but better than yesterday. It’s a pity because I would have wanted to contest the finale but I couldn’t, that’s how it is. Romain Bardet’s crash and Pierre Latour’s withdrawal are bad news for the team but we’ve had the stage victory of Nans Peters. We expected Pierre to pull out. He’s been in pain since he crashed early in the Tour. I know tomorrow’s stage very well because I live in Aix-les-Bains, very close to Grand Colombier. It doesn’t necessarily suit me but I’ll enjoy racing on those roads.”
